The winter sky above the LOFAR antenna near Unterweilenbach

Submitter: Philipp Weber
Description: The image shows one of the most interesting parts of the night sky above the LOFAR antenna field near the village Unterweilenbach in Bavaria, Germany.
In the lower section both antenna fields on the ground are visible, while the center of the image shows the Orion constellation with Barnards loop and the Orion nebula. To its left is the Rosette nebula. Above is the bright and red planet Mars, the open cluster M45, known as the Pleiades, and the California Nebula. Between all the objects also the comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF) is visible, although very small.
